Zhu Heng did not expect the combination of horse traps, barricades, chariot formations, heavy infantry, and hollow phalanxes to be so powerful.
The twenty thousand cavalrymen of Jian Nu were beaten to the point of losing their temper and suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, the artillery had played a great role in this war.
Without these cannons, the war would not have gone so smoothly.
To be able to achieve such a brilliant result, it was mainly due to the reasonable fortifications and formation arrangement.
Of course, the most important thing was that the soldiers were elite enough.
He did not change his expression in the face of the 20,000 cavalry's surprise attack.
Under normal circumstances, only the most elite troops, who had already disregarded life and death, could do it.
Coincidentally, the system's reward for these troops was one of them.
Daishan's side was also greatly unexpected.
Previously, when they fought the Ming army, they mainly attacked cities.
This was also what gave them the biggest headache.
Once the Ming army left the city for a field battle, they would basically be beaten up by them.
Facing the charge of their cavalry, even the Ming army, which was skilled in firearms, was no match for them.
He had no strength to fight back.
In Daishan's opinion, this Ming army might be stronger.
After all, it could be seen from their firearms.
This was definitely an elite troop of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, there were relatively complete anti-cavalry fortifications.
However, in his opinion, this could not change the outcome of this war.
His cavalry would press forward and tear apart all the enemies in front of him.
It was obvious that although Daishan had been through many battles, he was facing the Ming army, whose firearms were relatively inferior to Zhu Heng's.
After all, the firearms that the new Liao army was equipped with were at least a hundred years ahead of this era, and the difference in the technology of the artillery was as high as two hundred years.
Even though there was not much innovation in firearms and artillery technology during this period.
However, the progress brought about by technological development was certain.
Therefore, when he saw his invincible cavalry fall one by one on the path of the charge.
He finally realized that something was wrong.
This Ming army seemed to be a little too powerful.
Their firearms were clearly superior to all the enemies they had encountered before.
Moreover, this Ming army was a little too elite.
There were actually Mo Saber Soldiers, the nemesis of cavalry.
However, he was in a dilemma now.
Judging from the current situation on the battlefield.
Although the Mo Saber Formation was powerful, their numbers were still too few.
Their left and right flanks were the breakthrough points.
A large number of cavalrymen had already begun to move to the left and right wings. Some cavalrymen had even begun to prepare to circle around the rear.
Moreover, the Mo Saber Formation focused on explosive power and could not last for a long time.
After breaking through this Mo Saber Formation, it would be their death.
Therefore, judging from the current situation on the battlefield, it seemed that all they had to do was grit their teeth and persevere.
It was obvious that he had not seen through the mysteries of the hollow square formation.
This couldn't be blamed on Daishan. After all, the Jurchen was a barbarian.
Their language had only been created not long ago, so one could imagine the development of their civilization.
If it wasn't for the Han people they plundered that brought them the spark of civilization, perhaps they would still be a group of barbarians.
It was normal for them to be confused when facing a new type of firearm formation like the hollow square formation.
In the end, Daishan did not give the order to retreat.
He wanted to try one last time. As long as he could break through the flank, victory would be his.
After all, they had suffered so many casualties.
On the other hand, the enemy suffered very few casualties.
This made him very unwilling to accept the military pledge he had made in front of Huang Taiji.
It was this unwillingness that led Daishan's cavalry to their demise.
Although there was no heavy infantrymen's Mo Saber Formation on the flanks, the formation was still in its original state.
However, the soldiers on both sides of the square formation were not completely defenseless against the cavalrymen.
Facing the two armies of the Slaves of Jian, the two sides of the army were very close to each other.
The artillery group in the center turned their muzzles and began to fire with shotguns, which were more effective against dense crowds.
The rumbling cannon sounds and the dense cannonballs disrupted the rhythm of the two flanks of the cavalry.
The infantry on the two wings of the hollow square formation began to use the three-section attack tactic, launching a concentrated fire attack on the enemy cavalry.
At the same time, they had already installed their bayonet.
Bayonets replaced the original pikemen of the square formation, allowing the musketeers to have a stronger melee ability.
It could even be said that it was a divine weapon like the bayonet that allowed musketeers to enter the battlefield on a large scale and become the main force of the battlefield.
The artillery scattered the cavalry's charging formation, and the musketeers used the three-section tactic to launch intensive firepower attacks.
Under such close tactical coordination, the two of them were able to fight.
The cavalry that attacked from the flanks suffered heavy casualties.
Their charging formation was also forcefully restrained.
They were not afraid of such a situation, but the warhorses were not.
The loud cannon sounds, dense gunshots, and the bloody battlefield gave these livestock a huge shock.
"Kill!"
At this moment, flags were erected at the entrance of the Wa Zi Valley. In the center of the flag was a huge 'Zhu' character!
Thousands of soldiers with Brown Bess rifles rushed over.
"Boom boom boom"
As thousands of infantry rushed out of the valley, the dull sound of hooves could be heard.
The heavily armored cavalrymen lined up in an orderly formation, controlling their warhorses as they trotted over.
The horse sculptures in their hands let everyone know that they were not to be trifled with.
One had to know that the extremely high cost Ma Su was known as the king of horse battles.
Only the heavy cavalry would be equipped with such an expensive weapon, and only they could unleash the greatest power of the horse sculpture.
"Charge…"
The Heavy Cavalry Battalion Commander roared.
Immediately, the hooves of the cavalrymen in heavy armor danced in the air as they charged at the Jian Nu Cavalrymen.
The arrival of the reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the firing speed of the muskets increased significantly.
On the rear side of the battlefield, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Daishan and the others turned pale with fright when they looked behind them.
They saw a dense horde of cavalrymen galloping towards them at high speed.
"Bastard, they don't have that many soldiers. We've been fooled.”
Daishan immediately cursed with a gloomy expression, appearing somewhat flustered and exasperated.
"Retreat, cover the troops to break out!"
Daishan couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't send all his troops.
Instead, he left a group of cavalry to guard against Zhu Heng's cavalry.
At this moment, it also showed the accuracy of his order.
The horn sounded, and the signal to retreat resounded throughout the entire sky.
Azik led thousands of cavalrymen and charged towards the two cavalry regiments.
They had to fight to the death to stop this cavalry unit and buy time for the troops to retreat and break out.
